Not sure if I should fit them or not though. No paperwork so not sure how to set them up? Just make them the same height as the OE ones I'm guessing?

Got some MG 262mm rear brakes today, just given them a quick grinding and paint just to get them looking Ok, I will probably rebuild them at some point in the future anyway.

Should get them on tomorrow fingers crossed.

Hell yeah, especially at higher speeds! I noticed with 282 front and 242 rear that on the motorway it would sway/fish tail a little, now its solid and feels more controlled and even breaking. I need to rebleed them though as I'm getting some pedal travel.

overall great, and a cheap mod too! Next on the brakes list is braided hoses and a bias valve. but that won't for a long time.

I was tempted to do it wrinkle black but thought satin/matt would look better.
